Introducing Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP (CICS)

Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP (CICS) (hereafter referenced as TMA TCP for CICS) is a gateway connectivity feature that makes it possible for non-transactional tasks within Oracle Tuxedo regions to access services provided by CICS application programs and vice-versa. An Oracle Tuxedo region, or administrative domain, is a single computer or network of computers that shares a single Oracle Tuxedo configuration.

The TMA TCP for CICS software is designed to provide transparent CICS program access from within an Oracle Tuxedo domain and Oracle Tuxedo access from within a CICS region.
